Police have charged a 36-year-old man with the murders of two young girls in Tucson. The girls went missing in 2012 and 2014.

Christopher Matthew Clements was indicted Friday on 22 criminal counts. That includes murder and kidnapping charges in the deaths of 6-year-old Isabel Celis and 13-year-old Maribel Gonzalez.

“Christopher Clements was actually at liberty of the murder of Isabel Celis for a bit longer than she was alive,” Lawall said.
